SYNTHESIS OF MODIFIED PbTiO3 FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF LANTHANUM CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

The production of lead titanate (PbTiO3; PT) particles was accomplished by use of a solid-state ceramic method. Films that have been annealed at 650 degrees Celsius indicate a tetragonal structure with a perovskite phase via XRD patterns. In this paper, we present the experimental findings of our research into the influence that factors play in defining the properties of ceramics. Our investigation focused on the relationship between these three factors and properties of ceramics. Particles of lead titanate (PbTiO3) were manufactured with the use of a solid-state ceramic method. Calcium granules were heated from 400 degrees Celsius to 1000 degrees Celsius at a rate of 5 degrees Celsius per minute, which took a total of two hours. Secondary phases of lead oxide and titanium dioxide were found in the powders after being calcined at temperatures lower than 900 degrees Celsius. The shape and properties of PLCT films were investigated as a function of the thickness of seed layer.Lead titanate were calcined at a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius in order to produce a single perovskite phase.
